Anaphalis yedoensis
Yedoan pearly everlasting
Anaphalis yedoensis, also known as Yedoan pearly everlasting, is a plant that proves beauty doesn’t always have to shout. Its upright white stems carry slender, grey-green leaves edged and lined with a pale silvery-white, giving the foliage a frosted look that seems to catch and hold the light. In summer, the tips of each stem produce loose sprays of neat, white, papery blooms that stand proud long after many other flowers have waned. The effect is one of quiet luminosity, the blooms of Anaphalis margaritacea var. yedoensis resemble little pearls strung together, lending a subtle glow to borders, gravel gardens, or naturalistic plantings.
The appeal of Anaphalis yedoensis lies not only in its delicacy but also in its durability. The small, everlasting flowers retain their pearly brilliance even as they dry on the plant, ensuring a season of interest well into autumn. For those who enjoy cutting flowers, they are ideal for drying and arranging indoors, adding texture and longevity to bouquets. Planted in groups, Anaphalis yedoensis softens the look of taller companions, weaving gracefully among grasses or upright perennials without ever dominating the show. With its understated yet enduring beauty, Anaphalis yedoensis brings a touch of refinement and resilience, ensuring the garden has a luminous thread running through it long after bolder flowers have taken their bow.

Plant calendar
Remove the packaging straight away, check the compost and water thoroughly if dry. Check the plant’s hardiness before placing it outdoors. Plant into a border or permanent container within a month, choosing the position recommended for the variety. Keep the top of the root ball level with the surrounding soil, firm gently and water well.
Soak the roots in water for three to six hours immediately before planting. Keep any crown, buds or emerging shoots above the water where possible.
Pot most bare roots into 15–20cm pots filled with peat-free multipurpose compost. Large or depth-sensitive roots, including peonies, are often best planted directly into borders.
Arrange the roots naturally without bending them. Cover the roots completely, positioning the crown and buds at the depth recommended for that particular perennial.
Keep pots in a sheltered outdoor position and water whenever the compost begins to dry. Grow on until roots hold the compost together when lifted from the pot.
Plant into a suitable border or permanent container once well rooted. Add a label and water regularly throughout the first growing season while the perennial establishes.
